Seven MYTHS of Effective Parenting

May 25, 2017 | Ruth Freeman

• Punishment will change bad behavior.
• More reminders lead to better behavior.
• Explaining to your child why a behavior is wrong will lead him to stop that behavior.
• Lots of praise just spoils your child.
• Doing it once or twice means your child can do it regularly.
• My other child did not need extra training, so this child shouldn’t need it either.
• My child is just being manipulative.

The real story is that: You can get rid of almost any misbehavior by rewarding the positive opposite behavior.
